Topic: need help with Force 10 stove gimbals
OK gang, I need either a picture or 1000 words - your choice....
I want to put my Origo stove on gimbals. I actually had in hand a set of Origo gimbals but rejected them because it would take too much farkling about with the stove alcove to make it all fit well. I'm guessing that the Origo stove is rather smaller than the origial F10 item. Anyhoo, as the F10 gimbal mounts are still firmly mounted in my stove space I've decided to take a run at fabricating (or "faking" as I prefer to call my actions) a set of gimbals that will adapt my Origo stove to the F10 gimbal mounts. I have designed the swing arms and even come up with mounting pieces that will fit in the half-round cups in the F10 mounts but I am only guessing at how it all went together in the first place. It would save me a fair bit of head scratching if I could get a picture or description of what these mounts look like for real. If anyone out there has already hung an Origo stove in the original F10 gimbal mounts on a Contessa, feel free to elighten me.
